Amazing Video Shows Good Dog Rescuing Deer From Drowning

There’s a lot of negativity and downright depressing things happening in the world these days (and/or always), so it’s always nice to find genuinely amazing moments that make you remember hey, there’s also a lot of good stuff going on, too.

A video taken from Long Island, New York provides just that, and I’d be lying if I said that this one didn’t make me a little misty-eyed. It’s legitimately touching.

A man was walking by a lake with his golden retriever, Storm, over the weekend. Out of nowhere, Storm dove into the water and started swimming towards something off in the distance. It turns out that the dog noticed a small faun drowning in the lake. This video, taken by Storm’s owner, shows the daring rescue:

Is that not amazing? This dog is a hero. It’s incredible to see a dog take action when it sees another animal in danger. Just look at how Storm stays attentive to the faun after dragging it out to the shore. That is really, really cool. This is a good dog.
